Default Camber & toe adjustment

Dialing in my own rear camber and toe. The car has a good alignment and i'm wondering for every full turn of the camber arms, how many turns of the toe arms to bring the toe back close into spec?

You’re doing this...without an alignment rack?

No one is gonna be able to tell how how to adjust your arms from the internet

We dont know your height
We dont know your arms

Theres ways that race car drivers do this without a rack, using a string and basic tools but sure doesnt sound like the position you’re in

Go to an good alignment shop (not a generic chain) and get it done right

Without turn plates, camber gauges, and toe gauges. Take it to a shop.

Some of the equipment you need to do it yourself.

Proceeding with garage alignment is not advised....good luck chasing gremlins for the next few months...

After watching a roadrace specialty shop do my lowly street alignment with OE suspension, rear camber arms and aftermarket rear toe eccentric bolts. Back and forth many times as adjusting one messes with the others.
